Even the dems are starting to realize that being for gun control is a quick way to lose an election.
When he was campaigning, I heard him on radio talk shows several times. He was very vague about his leanings as far as permits; I actually thought he would be just as tough as the old Sheriff (his boss).
Once he was elected, it was immediately clear that he completely supports the right of citizens to carry. I think he hid his true inclinations so that his "base" wouldn't sit home. I hope he is re-elected; I swear he is to the right of some "Republicans" on the issue...and frankly, for Sheriff, it's about the only issue that matters. I'm sure he's really annoyed some of his Democrat base.
I can't believe I just said that I hoped a "D" would be re-elected. That's a first, and probably, a last.
